Boys Basketball: GHS vs. Wheat Ridge and Food Drive

BASKETBALL TONIGHT AT 7PM – LEARN MORE

The January 18th Golden High School boys basketball game against Wheat Ridge was postponed until February 6th due to weather. The Food Drive to honor GHS basketball parent and Jeffco teacher Jamie Wiggins who passed away in 2018 is extended to Monday February 6th.

Items can be dropped at the high school main office during school hours or tonight at the game.

The food drive final collection will be Monday February 6th when Golden plays Wheat Ridge at GHS. Bring your food/cash donations to the game between 5 and 8pm to support area families and school children in need. This is coordinated by BGOLDN (formally Golden backpack program) The GHS boys basketball program is very grateful for the community’s continued support of their annual food drive.


Golden History Moment

This photo was taken in 1949. The arch was new that year. Meyer Hardware appears on the far right. The building that now houses Baby Doe’s Clothing was under construction. The west side of the 1200 block had three drugstores! Jack’s Pharmacy was on the north corner (now Goozell Yogurt). Alpine Drug was in the middle of the block (now Del’s Tonsorial). Foss Drug was on the south end of the block (now Peak Cycle). Click to enlarge.
